Hello,

as the text says pls nerf the academy Fleet!!!!!!

For me i normaly play on endless Dificulty, and than turn 3 an AI finds the academy ok Academy Quest starts, give us Titanium.

Ok i give them 10 Titanium, next turn i see my Percentage and there i see yea the AI give them already 200 titanium?????? by turn 5 .... no chance to get thete any way cause of the absurd Bonus the ai gets.

Ok you give up on the academy and start to make your systems.

AI gets Academy Fleet and same turn declares war on you .... and you are getting raped hard. Extrem movemenstpeed and 2 Carrier Ships ..... the academy Fleet should not include ships which arent unlocked by the Empire .... i simply lost 4 systems to them and couldnt get back anymore .... nice .....

Really nerf this fleet to the ground.

In late game it should be bufed cuase there it is weak as hell.

thanks

Agreed, although that goes mostly for smaller maps, because on larger ones by the time you reach enemy systems it is already too late. But overall the thing isn't balanced universally, which is real bad. Pls figure smth out how to improve academy choices, there is a lot of feedback outhere. 

I guess from a story standpoint it makes sense, that the Academy, which has been around for some time, has a quite advanced fleet at the start of the game, that does not improve as fast as the other factions fleets.

Still I agree, that this throws early game balance out of the window, especially at slower game speed. I abandoned an Unfallen game in which I had a really bad start but took over 5 enemy systems in a matter of 3 turns using the Academy fleet. It simply feels like cheating. And to be on the receiving end is even worse; even more so, if you had no chance to compete for the Spear. 

Furthermore, the other Academy options are nowhere near as powerful in the early stages of the game. So there usually is no competition between different options. Therefore it is first place or bust. In my opinion buffing the other positions benefits would go a long way (bonus law slot, academy funds usable on market, increased Hero exp, etc.). 

I actually was playing Unfallen and I hacked an Academy system and froze the fleet in place when my hostile Vaulter neighbours got the fleet.
